How is it that we have taken to believing that what one persons thinks or says is indicative of what everyone around them thinks or says. Ask another
person in the crowd why he is there and he will say he is looking for Marsha Brady because he thinks that she is his age and God wants him to meet
her.

Yeah, I see that it could be read that way Gut. No, I was joking. I had just finished watching a little comedy called Guest Book and that was the
story of the week, a kid who thought that God was leading him to Marsha Brady.

But no. My point was that it is not that the reasons for joining that brigade keeps changing but rather that the group is not a singular entity. That
among the crowd many people have their own dreams and hopes for coming and that any answer we might get depends upon who is being asked at whatever
particular time;

As to who, or if, it is that is funding or coordinating this I cannot speak as I do not know and as I have no means on my own to investigate without
depending on all of those who wish to put forth their own speculations, I do not.

There's a lot of persecution and no work," she said of her country. She and Rodriguez are hopeful they can make it to Dallas, where they have
read about trans women like them receiving hormone treatments.

What the eff?

Coming to 'Murica where free hormones and cosmetic surgeries grow on trees!

I knew you meant well with that, I was jus' goofin' on ya'. A boy's gotta dream right? I can dig it. I see a girl every few weeks or so that I think
God wants me to be with too. As a matter of fact I've told one or two something to that effect in my life. I mostly meant/believed it.

As far as the caravan, I do have compassion for goodhearted folk trying to better themselves, but A.) that's a lot of people and, B.) not all of them
have pure intentions.

I think most of us agree that open borders isn't a feasible or desirable solution. Not in the present world. If that's so, where is the line drawn?
It's complex assuredly.

Quite right. This whole notion that all liberals, even most liberals believe in open borders is is way over played if you ask me. I certainly do not
believe in open borders.
And you are right that the real question should be where draw the line. I draw the line that we do not define where the line is by our hate or fear.

I don't have any answers to this current march. I do not rule out that it possibly an orchestrated event and I hate whoever that might be. However I
do not rule out that it could be an organic search for a better life.

My hope is that most of these folks either turn around or avail themselves of the hopitality we hear has been offered by those living in Mexico. I
don't want to see this escalate. I'm praying that it does not.

I don't like crowds. Seeing those pictures of all those people let's me know that I may never know what it is like to be like them because I would see
all that crowd and just have to go in the other direction. It's really beyond my ability to comprehend on a personal basis

Not a clear answer on what is right and wrong to do here. If you have ever traveled abroad and seen the hardships that people experience in a third
world country, you too should be torn if you are human. I would say they should overthrow their governments and put someone in power that will help to
make their world better, but the world sees how that worked out in Syria. To diminish the plight of many in this caravan as criminals, intentional
freeloaders and terrorist is being disingenuous.
What's worse is whoever baited these people with the prospects of a paid way to a better life I hope burns in hell for putting forth a dream for many
will be dashed away as they march for a dream that we as a nation cannot afford to give.

When you criticize a person be sure you thought what its like to walk a mile in their shoes.

I've done more than travel abroad, i've lived abroad

To diminish the plight of many in this caravan as criminals, intentional freeloaders and terrorist is being disingenuous.

Hard to see these people as much more, as they don't want to follow laws in place, and don't want what Mexico is offering

I've seen numerous family and friends become a citizen the legal way, and the struggle that entailed. What these people are doing is a slap in the
face to every legal citizen. And pleasssse, how many really believe they are even going to attempt to do things the legal way..??

I do agree with you on this part:

What's worse is whoever baited these people with the prospects of a paid way to a better life I hope burns in hell for putting forth a dream for many
will be dashed away as they march for a dream that we as a nation cannot afford to give.
